what is null 0? is it always 0?

Hi Friend,

Null 0 is a black hole when routes checks this interface it will not find any route and will drop the traffic.

Lets take an example of a route

ip route x.x.x.x x.x.x.x null0

If this is the route and any packet matches that destination it will be dropped cause null 0 is not a valid interface.

Have a look at this link

I'm having problems with 'route null0' statics being propagated through our MPLS / EIGRP / BGP network even when I do not have default-info-originate commands under the routing protocols

Hi Friend,

Have you configured your EIGRP with summarization?

Hi,

Static route pointing to an interface (in your case, Null0) is considered directly connected network.

E.g. if you have "ip route 10.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 Null0", then you'll see the following line when you do "show ip route":

S 10.0.0.0/8 is directly connected, Null0

If the "network" command of your EIGRP covers the above network, it will be advertised as internal EIGRP route (AD=90).

Hope this helps.

Thank you.

B.Rgds,
